Abstract
EXtended Reality (XR) has numerous applications in industrial contexts, including to assist in activities such as preventive maintenance and/or reactive interventions in machinery, wherein time-effectiveness is required to mitigate the costs of inactive production lines or the need to subcontract specialized technicians to perform those operations. However, developing an Augmented Reality (AR) application capable of being user-friendly and truly serviceable for aiding in the referred context requires keeping in mind human factors as key aspects and, as such, interaction must be a concern to address, namely, considering user feedback. Therefore, starting from a previous AR system oriented to industrial interventions that was developed and assessed with users and considering the feedback of the participant, the duly alterations were done and a new test was conducted, with a total of 27 participants, divided into 2 groups: 11 users who participated in the first experience and 16 general users who had never contacted with the solution before. A qualitative improvement in the user experience was noticed from the questionnaires feedback. Points such as fluidity, responsiveness, ease, speed, and intuitiveness were highlighted. Voice commands matched the tap commands in terms of user preferences.
